Industry Reviews "By the end of OUR CHOICE, it may be clear that we possess the tools needed to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions, but the book has also shown--intentionally or not--that deploying them would require a lot from us. It would mean changing the way we eat, shop, manufacture, and get around, and, ultimately, how we see ourselves." (11/16/2009)
